Notes

  1. If you want you can use 50 : 50 proportion Maida n wheat flour .ie 1/2 cup maida n 1/2 cup wheat flour. but tastes best when made only with maida.
  2. I don't add baking soda to these cookies . If you want can add a pinch .
  3. Always use butter at room temperature.keep it on countertop for min 30 mins before using for making cookie.
  4. Adjust spicing and flavouring depending on your taste .
  5. Dont over knead the cookie dough .
  6. When the bottom of biscuits turn golden brown it shows that the cookies are done.The biscuits may be soft to touch when hot.But when it cools down completely,it will become crunchy.So don't worry and wait till it gets room temperature.
